While Piggy has some things to offer the others, leadership is not one of them. d. All of the above e. A and B, but not C​

Answer 1

d. All of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given quote about Piggy, the author describes Piggy as having a "ludicrous body" which means his body is out of place and amusing, which indirectly infers that he is unable to do much manual labor.

The author also describes Piggy as someone who could think, and go "step by step" inside his head, which implies that he is logical, intelligent and had good ideas.

Furthermore, Piggy is described as not being a "chief" which implies that he was not cut out to be a leader and didn't have leadership qualities.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D. All of the above.
